Posted:29th Dec 2004I love my hoops as much as I love poi and staff and I noticed there was a few other hooping hoppers out there. So I thought HOP needed a hooping thread for us to chat about tricks and share our love for hoops. I have been hooping for quite awhile now and have mastered quite a few tricks but I still havn't figured how to flick it up off the ground and move it up my legs. I can get it from my knees up but I saw this chic at the a circus and she had the hoops all on the ground and was bringing them up her legs one by one. It looked awesome. I've got an idea of what I gotta do but havn't quite got it. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on this?Thanks majikHappy Hooping!

Posted:30th Mar 2006 NYC hun, Jon wasn't dressed like Freddie all week. I was just teasing. I could ask him nicely to actually do it and send you some photos of him. You seem very interested in seeing the lovely Jonny dressed as a woman

*Scrolls up* Did I? No... I think I'd rather see the two of you dressed in Nutella. Actually, I don't even want to see that. I'd just like to KNOW that the two of you are covered in Nutella without actually having to see it. I think that would make me happy.

Posted:31st Mar 2006And Ado, the cool kids out here tape GLOW BRACELETS to their hoops. They link them together into one long chain and then spiral it around as you would any tape pattern. They're cheap and fun. Some of them even put the connectors permanently on the hoop so they can just restick new ones in each time.

Posted:5th Apr 2006I had a go of jo's skully hoop, and was impressed by the prettyness, and non peely off covering, what is it that you used skully? Ive had a bit of a search and haven't found the answer mentioned

I have a hoop that lives at Tobi's but the pink and silver holgraphic tape i oh so carefully applied to it has started to peel already

I was wondering if anybody around here does hand hooping with small hoops. I don't mean off-the-body moves with a big hoop that one would throw in during a hoopdance set (like around the world or behind the back pass) but small hoops that never go around the body at all. I've been transferring some poi moves to hand hoops and it's been great fun and would love to share tips & tricks with others.

Oh and NYC: I love love love that Cirque video. That girl is amazing! Truly inspiring, though I think my contorting days are behind me... EDITED_BY: _khan_ (1146160989)

Posted:28th Apr 2006hi khan, i've seen this vid on the same server as the cirque du soleil elfe...so either u're him, or that should interest u

iso-hoop

hello everybody, i have a lot of fun reading u and i hope to meet u all at the ejc...by the way, i can't bring any hoops with me cos of weight and bulk and money restriction, so i hope u can sort out a spare (fire)hoop for me!!

I am most definitely not the hooper in the video. Wow wow wow! Thanks for posting it. Sweet isolations and btb weave with hoops!? wtf!!?? Some of the things in the video I imagined were possible but had never seen anyone doing it, and now I have so I know it can be done. so inspired now.

Posted:1st May 2006 I swear I thought I saw you hooping around your waist..anway at least you can't get any worse than Sylphs attempt hahaha..I have had nightmares of that since(ok thats a lie but I'm surprised I haven't)
